Deb Dav Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 My Hubby thought he was helping by putting some washing on for me but when I went into the kitchen I heard a clunking sound coming from the washing machine Looked into the round window... and there was my YS Ipod on a 30degree coloured wash cycle Quickly got it out but there was water in it No life We put it in a ziploc bag full of rice and left it for 3 weeks.... today we have put it on charge to see if there is life after a wash cycle and there is If anyone accidentally puts an Ipod in the wash, put it in a bag of rice, leave it for a while and hopefully it will come back to life, YS happy now and we can cross out a new IPod touch off the Christmas list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Palmer Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Will bear that in mind for any future accidents! (Pity it didn't work with washed passports! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Wow, that's a useful tip - here's hoping I never have to use it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Tried that with my mobile but it didnt work! Pleased that it was successful for you though! Still, could have been worse - could have put a brick in the washing machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
